Greetings to all from the state that New Yorkers call "New England" and Bostonians consider "virtual New York!"
I hail from the lovely forested hills north of New Haven.
I'm a long time player, more electric than acoustic, but I have two Taylors. One is a Grand Auditorium 414ce which I've had for about 10 years and love just as much as the day I bought it. I play a mix of fingerpick, flat pick and strumming, and I find this guitar suits all pretty well. I do indeed love the crisp sound of this guitar, without being brittle or strident. Bright, but also warm and in tune chords have a beautiful solid sound. Perhaps the Ovangkol? Whatever it is, I love the sound and feel of this longtime friend.
My second Taylor is brand new, a T5z-12 String, that is absolutely magical and is changing the way I play. I wrote an in depth review on another topic string, but there's nothing unbiased about it. I LOVE THIS GUITAR!
Anyway, I'm happy to make your acquaintance.
John
